Which aircraft?
I am flying to athens on 541 may 24th...
The flight is on a 757. SeatGuru shows the furst line in Y as 21. But in "My reservations" it shows that economy starts at row 10. I am seated at 15.
Is there a possibility that this is an all Y airplane?
I haven't flown on a 757 for some years but I thought that these planes are used only for sun d'or.

757's 10 to 13 is Business Class, Row 21 is "Economy Plus" (More leg space, separated from the regular economy passengers...

beware of 23, 24H ones...

So if it let you choose 10, go for it! 8-)

Why not? It's exactly the same.

Are you sure you're in row 15? And if so, are you sure it's a 757?

Maybe it's the 753 leased from Arkia with a different seat configuration?

Could it perhaps be a Sun d'Or aircraft with an all economy layout?

That's the 753 I was referring to.

It indeed was this aircraft.
I don't know how Elal does this.
It is bad enough that a non charter flight is on a 757. But this ancient one?
